dnf for now

the trailer of the show hadn't amazed me one bit, so i picked up the book thinking the original material with the brunette version of Percy could change that or be more exciting on its own. i stopped reading when his mom died and i didn't feel a thing. that convinced me im not the target audience for it. im too dead inside for a book that'll probably have more jokes than grief after such a big trauma in the protagonist's life. i also realized greek mythology isn't really my thing, at least not in a fantasy book. maybe im wrong and i could actually take it seriously, but it's 2023, and i don't want to finish this and still prefer Harry Potter (the series, not the character). that would be sad. and kind of immoral.
